We're a London-based chain of restaurants serving healthy & tasty Mediterranean food. We cater for events & meetings and operate 50 popups a month.
LETTER FROM THE FOUNDERS
Hummus Bros was born on a glorious hot day in May 2003, when, as two college friends, we were searching for something filling and healthy that would taste great, and still leave some change for drinks at the Union Bar. Passing on the usual options of pizza or sandwiches, we stumbled out of a small specialist delicatessen with three basic ingredients: pitta bread, hummus and olive oil. In no time at all, the bowls of hummus were wiped spotlessly clean.
After operating food stalls in various markets around London we opened our first branch in August 2005 on Wardour Street. We subsequently opened branches close to Holborn (2007), St Paul's (2009) and Exmouth Market (2013).
Since April 2013 we've pioneered a way to operate popups in corporate restaurants. We started with Goldmans Sachs, British Airways and JP Morgan and now operate about 50 per month in HSBC, Google, UBS, Bank of America...
In July 2014 we reached a milestone of 35,000 meals or 5 tonnes of hummus per month! We guarantee the consistency of the food by producing some of it centrally which presents significant benefits in terms of economy of scale.
In August 2014 we launched our first book which was selected as best cookbook by Waterstones and is ranked #3 on Amazon's Middle Eastern cookbooks.
From the outset and over the past 9 years we have worked tirelessly with the aim of creating the #1 hummus brand in the world
And if you were wondering - we are not brothers - although our customers often say that we look like brothers!
-Christian Mouysset & Ronen Givon

We also serve a selection of salads, drinks and desserts. At lunch customers spend between £5-£7 and at dinner between £9-£11.
We focus on taste, value for money, freshness & simplicity.
